FAQs — Old Harlow

Is every dog suitable for therapy work?

No — and we say so up front. We temperament-test at the Old Harlow assessment and only take on dogs with the nerve, drive and social profile the job needs.

Do you train assistance dogs from puppies?

Yes, when the puppy is right. Most assistance placements start young so public-access work is baked in from the beginning.
